■ "If you give me three days of light, the first person I want to see is my dear teacher."
At the age of one year and seven months, the sudden high fever caused by scarlet fever made Helen blind and deaf, and became a blind, deaf and dumb disabled person. Because the deaf-mute child can't get access to the correct information, the window of the soul is imprisoned, which leads to her bad temper and bad temper. At the age of seven, Anne Sullivan came to her side. She accompanied Helen for half a century and guided her out of endless darkness and loneliness with love and wisdom. The miracle created by Helen in her life is inseparable from this outstanding young educator for deaf children. Helen expressed her love for Sullivan in her masterpiece If you give me three days of light: "If you give me three days of light, the first thing I see is my dear teacher."
Sullivan, as a * * * * *, gave Helen a doll on the day she went to her house, and slowly spelled the word "d-o-l-l" repeatedly with her finger on Helen's little hand. Helen became interested in this game at once. She imitated the teacher's actions again and again, and began to understand that everything in the world had its own name, and began to know that her name was "Helen Keller". Since then, Helen has learned and mastered French, German, Latin and Greek. Although deaf and blind, she can master five languages. Helen's success is called "the greatest achievement in the history of education".
Helen's "dumb" is caused by hearing loss, and her vocal cords are not damaged. At the age of ten, Helen began to learn to speak. Because she can't hear others and her own voice, she can only feel the movement of her throat and lips when the teacher pronounces, and then imitate and correct her voice thousands of times. When she said "it's really hot" like a normal person for the first time, both she and Sullivan realized that there was no insurmountable difficulty in the face of their tenacious perseverance. In Helen's life, she even took traveling around the world as an important part of her career.
Besides reading, she also likes riding, swimming and boating. She loves the performing arts of drama. With indomitable will, Helen learned to lip-read, and she could hear the short stories recited by Mark Twain with both hands, and completed her studies at Harvard University, a world-famous university, with excellent results. Reading not only makes Helen a knowledgeable scholar, but also cultivates her beautiful mind.
She likes to walk in the forest with the reins, and she also likes to go boating on a moonlit night, and she can tell her direction by the smell of water plants and water lilies. She also likes to ride a tandem bike for a ride, experience strength and speed in galloping, and like to fight wits and bravely in chess matches like boys ... She also loves nature. Although standing in front of Niagara Falls, she can't see the beauty of the world and hear the deafening roar, but she can appreciate the grandeur of the world's largest waterfall from the tremor of the air.
In museums and art shops, Helen can feel the beauty of ancient Greek sculptures with her fingers, just like observing the emotions written on people's faces, and "see" the freshness of Di Anna, the goddess of the moon, and the beauty of Venus from those changing lines. 1937, Helen received special courtesy when she visited Japan, and was allowed to touch the royal art collection and the statue of monk Jian Zhen in China, which was regarded as a national treasure of Japan.
■ Mark Twain called her and Napoleon the two most outstanding figures in19th century.
After studying with Sullivan for three months, Helen began to try to express her feelings in immature words and wrote the first letter in her life. From April 1902, with the help of Sullivan, she began to serialize her autobiography "The Story of My Life" in an American magazine. The following year, after its publication, it caused a sensation in the American literary world, and was even hailed as one of the two most important contributions of world literature from 65438 to 0902.
Many people don't believe that such beautiful words were written by a deaf and blind person. Although Mark Twain testified for this, it still can't calm people's doubts. However, Helen's achievements in her life give the best answer to this: she published 14 monographs in her life. In the past century, my life story has been translated into more than 50 languages and spread all over the world. Some experts once said that "in terms of literary achievements, it is not inferior to Rousseau's Confessions." If Helen's indomitable perseverance is inspiring, then her love is a precious treasure left to the world. When she first started studying with Sullivan, the clever little Helen easily learned to spell the names of many things around her, but she couldn't understand the very abstract noun "love". The young Sullivan turned her love into unparalleled patience, which enabled Helen to overcome the insurmountable obstacles in the study of blind and deaf students. While learning knowledge, little Helen also learned Sullivan's love. With this love, 10-year-old Helen successfully raised two years' education expenses for a five-year-old deaf-mute child. Maybe from then on, she made up her mind to help all the people in the world who need help like her.
She gives love to the world, and the world returns her lofty honor. 19 19, Helen's story was put on the screen by Hollywood and starred by herself. 1955, she received an honorary degree from Harvard University, becoming the first woman in history to receive this honor.
Since Helen was a child, every American president has invited her to visit the White House. She is also called by the government as one of the 30 outstanding people in the United States who have made outstanding contributions to the country. She won the "Freedom Award" personally awarded by the President of the United States and was praised as a senior citizen of the United States. From 65438 to 0959, the United Nations launched the "Helen Keller" campaign named after her around the world to help deaf children around the world. 1960, The Miracle Creator, which describes her growing experience, won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a movie. In the same year, on the occasion of Helen's eightieth birthday, the American Overseas Foundation for the Blind announced that it would award the International Helen Keller Award to those who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of the blind. 1 June, 9681day, 88-year-old Helen finished her legendary life.
In the process of human development, there are many valuable similarities. People of different colors and systems in the world can draw strength from Helen's story and inspire their fighting spirit. This is because the spirit of fighting against one's own weaknesses regardless of difficulties will always be the spiritual wealth of mankind. 1880 On June 27th, Helen Keller was born in a small town in northern Alabama, USA. Her life has set an example for people to fight against fate.
